(August 2025) (Learn how and when to remove this message) The game was released in 1985 as a [side-scrolling](/source/Side-scrolling) [action game](/source/Action_game) with a mixture of [beat 'em up](/source/Beat_'em_up) and [platform gameplay](/source/Platform_game). *Flashgal* has a horizontal orientation with a standard resolution. It also is a color game. It allows a multiplayer of two players to play at once. It includes an 8 way joystick. The sound is amplified mono with one channel. It stands upright and vertical for the cabinet style. *Flashgal* is controlled by the player who controls when she kicks, punches, and jumps to move through the various levels.[5][2] According to *[Retro Gamer](/source/Retro_Gamer)*, the game is a [superhero](/source/Superhero) beat 'em up that "takes a lot of its inspiration from" *[Kung-Fu Master](/source/Kung-Fu_Master_(video_game))* (1984).[3] It is a single-plane brawler that distinguishes its gameplay with the use of auto-[scrolling](/source/Scrolling). It also has a female protagonist, who bears a resemblance to superheroines such as [Wonder Woman](/source/Wonder_Woman) and [Elektra](/source/Elektra_(character)).[3][2] She also resembles [Blaze Fielding](/source/Blaze_Fielding) from Sega's *[Streets of Rage](/source/Streets_of_Rage)* series. Coincidentally, this game also features a crime boss with firearms, jetpackers, ninjas, and a motorcycle level that was cut from the third game due to time constraints. ## See also - [*My Hero* (video game)](/source/My_Hero_(video_game)) ## Notes 1. **[^](#cite_ref-4)** [Japanese](/source/Japanese_language): フラッシュギャル, [Hepburn](/source/Hepburn_romanization): *Furasshugyaru* ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-Media_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-Media_1-1) ["フラッシュギャル"](https://mediaarts-db.bunka.go.jp/id/M729728) [Flash Gal]. *Media Arts Database*.
